Continental Airlines has introduced new BusinessFirst menus on its international flights. The meals were created by Continental's Congress of Chefs, which includes Michael Cordúa of Americans of Houston and former Houstonian Tim Keating, now at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fla. Among new main courses: veal osso bucco with saffron risotto, grilled Churrasco-style tenderloin steak and a bouillabaisse of grilled Escolar fish and rosemary shrimp. Dishes will rotate monthly on flight routes and will vary by region. Continental also has introduced hot canapés and soup demitasse appetizers along with petite desserts for those seeking lighter options.
